On the occasion of International Day of Persons with Disabilities, Khusi Behera, Rashmita Sethi, and Tadekeswar Sahoo, persons with disabilities from Ward 50 highlighted that "No developmental plan can succeed without our partnership. Our voice must be heard in every decision that affects our lives. Leave no one behind!". "Recognize our abilities, not our disabilities. Give us the right platform to bring about social progress by utilizing our talents." "Give us opportunity, not charity! On the path of progress, we do not wish to follow anyone, but to walk as partners. A disability-inclusive society is our true empowerment."
